“Huh? What’s going on? Why are you so impolite just like the kids?” yelled Bai Hua from behind.
Completely ignoring her, Nan Chen left with the two children.
After sitting on the car for a long time, Erbao was still immersed in her sorrow.
“Don’t be sad. You don’t need to believe in what your Grandma says,” consoled Nan Chen softly.
“Grandma is a meanie. She wants to chase Mommy away.” Erbao was still sobbing.
“Don’t listen to her. No one is chasing Mommy away, and she won’t leave either,” assured Nan Chen.
“Really?” Only then did Erbao calm down slightly.
“Of course! I promise to you that Mommy won’t leave. She’ll stay by your side forever,” affirmed Nan Chen as well.
“Daddy, you must keep your promise. Pinky promise.” Erbao stretched her pinky out.
Nan Chen did the same and hooked his pinky around Erbao’s.
“Daddy, you must protect Mommy,” Dabao chimed in.
“Why did you say that?” asked Nan Chen.
“Because Grandma might bully Mommy. If that happens, Mommy will be very pitiful,” explained Dabao.
“Why do you think that your Grandma will bully Mommy?”
“Because she doesn’t like Mommy, so there’s a high possibility that she’ll make things difficult for her,” replied
Dabao.
“It’s fine. Your Mommy won’t be bullied so easily. She’s a strong woman,” assured Nan Chen .
“Daddy, if Mommy and Grandma fights, whose side are you on?” asked Dabao.
When Erbao, who had just calmed down, heard this question, she became interested too. “I know this question. If
Grandma and Mommy falls into the sea at the same time, who will you rescue first?”
Nan Chen was stunned. “Where did you hear such a meaningless question?”
“The television series,” replied Erbao honestly.
“These are very meaningless questions. Don’t learn the wrong things,” reminded Nan Chen.
“Okay. But who will you save first, Daddy?” asked Erbao, her eyes sparkling brightly.
“I said that this is a meaningless question. Stop asking it already,” replied Nan Chen.

“Okay, then. But Dabao’s question isn’t meaningless, right? If Mommy and Grandma fight, whose side are you on?”
Erbao asked persistently.
“I won’t let anyone chase your Mommy away. No one can do that,” answered Nan Chen.
If someone is going to chase that woman away, it can only be me.
If I didn’t chase her away, no one else can.
At this moment, Nan Chen’s phone buzzed. It was a call from Nan Xing.
“Nan Chen, where are you?” asked Nan Xing.
“I brought the kids up the hills to visit their Great-Grandpa.”
“You aren’t at the hospital?”
“No. Why? Did something happen?”
“Hey, Nan Chen. I’m not trying to chastise you, but why didn’t you send someone to keep an eye there? If you’re
not around, what if Ouyang Qi goes there again?” said Nan Xing.
Nan Chen remained silent.
Ning Ran is an adult. I can’t possibly tie her with a rope for twenty hours, right?
Neither can I send someone to keep an eye on her, and beat any men who approach her.
Evidently, that was not unfeasible.
“Forget it. Get back to your work. I’ll go and take a look. If that bastard comes again, I’ll beat him up!” said Nan
Xing.
“Don’t do it yourself. It might be more troublesome.”
This is interesting. Nan Chen is not advising me against beating him up, but that I shouldn’t do it myself.
In other words, I can teach that bastard a lesson, but not personally.
“Don’t worry, Nan Chen. I’m still capable of dealing with a rich playboy. I’ll ensure that Ding Mi will not be harassed,”
guaranteed Nan Xing.
“You should call her Ning Ran,” corrected Nan Chen.
Nan Xing paused for a while. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”
Then, he ended the call.
Immediately afterward, someone called Nan Chen again.
It was Ouyang Qing.
Nan Chen picked up the call. “Yes?”
“Chen, I’ve arrived at your office. Assistant Jiang said that you’ve left. When will you be back?”
“Quite late. Is there anything urgent?”
“I want to tell you face to face. Where are you? If I won’t be disturbing you, I go over to see you,” offered Ouyang
Qing.
Obviously, Ouyang Qing was saying that on purpose. Bai Hua had already told her that Nan Chen went to Yunfeng
Hill.
Furthermore, she also knew that the children were together with Nan Chen.
“I’m not in the city. I’m on my way back from Yunfeng Hill.”
Ouyang Qing was delighted. Nan Chen is actually telling me the truth. This is so rare!
Actually, it was not because Nan Chen favored her. He simply did not deign to lie.
“Then, I’ll wait for you,” said Ouyang Qing.
“There’s no need. I need to go to the hospital. You don’t have to wait for me,” replied Nan Chen.
“The hospital? Did Aunt fall ill again? Then I should visit her as well.” Ouyang Qing feigned ignorance.
“No. It’s the kids’ mother.”
“Oh, Ding Mi. She’s the female lead for the new movie. We’ll be cooperating in the future. I should go visit her too.”
“There’s no need for that,” rejected Nan Chen directly.
“You’ve misunderstood, Chen. I’m not there to see you. I’m there to visit Ding Mi. Are you stopping me from going
because you’re scared that I’ll snatch your beauty away? Hahaha…” Ouyang Qing chuckled sweetly.
Nan Chen remained unconvinced. “There’s no need for that. If there’s anything important, tell me tomorrow in my
office.”
Before Ouyang Qing could reply, he hung up the call.
Initially, Ouyang Qing was quite elated. However, after Nan Chen hung up so abruptly, her heart sank again.
Since you don’t want me to visit, I’ll insist on doing it!
After Nan Chen ended the call, Dabao and Erbao looked at him simultaneously.
“What?” asked Nan Chen.

“Daddy, are you calling the pretty lady out for a date again?” asked Erbao with a straight face.
“Who said that? I did not.”
Dabao shot a glance at Erbao and winked.
Understanding right away, Erbao fell silent.
Nan Chen noticed the exchange that happened between them. However, he did not know what it meant.
“What are both of you up to again?”
Nan Chen felt a bit uneasy. The kids were simply too mischievous, whose words always hit home. Nan Chen felt that
he had become the weaker party in front of them.
“Nothing. We fully support you, Daddy,” said Dabao.
“What are you saying? What do you mean when you said you support me?” Nan Chen frowned.
“Since Daddy and Mommy don’t like each other, both of you should just look for someone whom you like. This way,
you will be happy and won’t fight as much,” explained Dabao.
Nan Chen felt exasperated. Are they trying to sting me with their words again?
Are they so addicted that they need to do this several times a day?
“Did Mommy say this?” asked Nan Chen coldly.
Dabao sighed. “This shows that you don’t like Mommy. When you hear something that upsets you, you’d assume
that it’s Mommy who said it. But she’s not such a mean person.”
Nan Chen found himself at a loss for what to say.
Is he implying that I’m being petty?
“Dabao, things that happen between adults are very complicated. You’re both smart and sensible children.
However, you don’t understand the adult world that much.”
Nan Chen kept trying to explain to them patiently.
Only these two children enjoyed such privilege. If they were someone else, Nan Chen would have thrown them out
of the car window already.
Dabao heaved another sigh. “Okay, then.”
He answered very reluctantly, with a face still full of indignation.
